This is to communicate to the adhikaris (deserving persons) the message that the Supreme Being Radhasoami, finding the humanity badly confounded and in great distress, manifested Himself as Sant Sat Guru. In His unbounded mercy, He revealed the mysteries of His own sphere and the mode of attaining it by means of Surat Shabd practice. It behoves Jivas to develop love in His Holy Feet.
By the performance of this practice, mind will get subdued. There is no other way in this Kali Yuga for purifying and quieting the mind and raising it to higher regions. The goals of all the religions, prevalent in this world, reach up to the first or at the most the second stage of Sants. If the Abhyas of Surat Shabd Yoga is performed methodically, the mind and spirit will be purified, and , catching hold of Shabd, will ascend to celestial regions, represented in human microcosm. Leaving Pind, the region of nine orifices, they will reach Brahmand, i.e., Trikuti. There the spirit will part company with the mind, and proceed further. Experiencing the bliss of Sunn and Maha-sunn, the spirit will have darshan of Sat Purush in Sat Lok, of Alakh Purush in Alakh Lok, and of Agam Purush in Agam Lok. Finally, it will reach the Nij Dham of RADHASOAMI, from where the spirit originally descended. It got entangled in the snares of Kal, laid out in Tri-loki (three worlds or Loks). It will again get back to its original abode.
A practitioner of Surat Shabd Yoga will pass through; Vishnu Lok, Shiv Lok, Brahama ka Lok, Shakti Lok, Ram Lok, Brahm Pad, Nirvan Pad of Jains, the region of Lord God of the Bible and the regions of Malkoot, Jabroot and Lahoot of Mohammedans, all situated below Sunn. Experiencing the bliss of these regions, the spirit will enter into its Nij Desh (Original Home) by the grace of Sants.
The Radhasoami Mat or Faith derives its name from its original Founder, the Supreme Being, Radhasoami who appeared in this world in human form and designated Himself Sant Sat Guru or perfect Saint or true Guide and Preceptor, and preached holy doctrines to sincere enquirer of Truth for the deliverance of their spirit from the bondage of body and its surroundings, as well as from the pains and pleasures of this world, and for the ultimate admission (of their spirit) into the Holy Presence of the Supreme Being after traversing and breaking through the trammels and impediments in the material spheres.
The holy name Radhasoami has been given out by the Supreme Being Himself. It resounds in splendid refulgence in the higher spheres and can be heard within by those who perform devotion by practising Surat Shabd Yoga according to the instructions given by the Supreme Being Himself.
All obstacles thrown in the way and traps laid by Universal Mind and Matter to stop or interfere with the progress of a pilgrim to the high mansion of the Supreme Being in pure spiritual regions disappear at once on the utterance of the holy name Radhasoami by the devotee; such is the immediate effect and beneficial influence exercised by this Almighty Name. It at once strikes awe and terror in the heart of the conflicting agents and revolting forces met with by the devotee while traversing the material regions and gradually removes them altogether from his path.
The holy name Radhasoami signifies both the Supreme Being and the original Spirit or Sound current (or Word) which emanated from His Holy Feet, and which is the prime factor and principal agent in the whole creation.
Blessed is the night on which Param Purush Puran Dhani Soamiji Maharaj graced this planet for the edification of the erring humanity and for removing the darkness of ignorance from the hearts of misguided souls. Blessed is the country, the city and the locality in which He made His advent for steering the souls safely through the ocean of life, in the ark of Shabd.

The headquarters of the Radhasoami Faith is in Agra, India. It is located in Soami Bagh or the Lord's Garden. This is the true and original faith and only recognizes the teachers: Soamiji Maharaj, Huzur Maharaj, Maharaj Saheb, Buaji Saheba and Babuji Maharaj. These are the only genuine, fully manifested, Sant Sat Gurus of the faith. These are the spirits who came from the highest region of the creation for the true salvation of the Jivas.

In the year 1818 the true Supreme Being manifested himself in the city of Agra, India. With the manifestation came the message of his true name “Radhasoami”. The sound of Radhasoami resounds throughout the entire creation. Radhasoami is not a fictional name given to the Supreme Being but the natural sound coming from the Supreme Being.
The sole purpose for the manifestation of the Supreme Being was to initiate the process of reclaiming the spirits from the regions of matter. The Radhasoami Faith is True Religion. It is Religion about the Truth. The Radhasoami Faith provides the only real association with Truth teachings and access to the True Path that will take the Spirit home. The Radhasoami Faith is for those who have faith that Radhasoami is the one, true, real Supreme Being and the only means of leaving the world of matter and returning home to the purely spiritual worlds.

You must have access to true teachings. The creations of matter are full of deceptions. Those deceptions are deliberately and perpetually applied to keep the spirits trapped in matter. Access to the truth is critical to true salvation. <br />
The current of true redemption must be present for salvation to be possible. This current comes from the True Supreme Being Radhasoami the Merciful and is conducted in the world by one individual at a time. <br />
You must have access to the True Teacher. Teachers of the past are no longer in this world and are no longer involved with this world. Only a living teacher, manifest in this world now, can conduct the true current of redemption. Without the living teacher, access to the current of redemption is impossible. Without the current of redemption, salvation is impossible and the spirit incarnates perpetually within matter. The living teacher in the Radhasoami Faith is known as the Sant Sat Guru meaning Saintly and True Teacher. The living teacher is always present in this world, but He is not always publicly known. <br />

Understanding the cosmology or organization of the creation is very important. It is critical for spirits to understand where they currently reside within the creation and where their true home is to be found. There are three divisions in the creation. <br />
The Material/Spiritual Division. This division includes the world in which we find ourselves. It is a temporary region where matter dominates over the spirit. Life here is short and the spirit cycles in various forms from one incarnation to the next. <br />
The Spiritual/Material Division. This division encompasses the material/spiritual division and includes the various heavens of other religions. While spirit is dominant over matter in this division, the Spiritual/Material Division is still temporary and locations within this division are occupied by spirits in the interim between incarnations in the Material/Spiritual Division. <br />
The Purely Spiritual Division. This division encompasses the first two divisions. Unlike the Material/Spiritual and Spiritual/Material region, this division is permanent. It is diametrically the opposite of the material regions. Life is bliss, all is known to all, love towards the divine is continuously expressed. As pure spirit, it is our true, real and permanent home. We will all be returning to this division when we have exhausted our imperfections in the divisions of matter. <br />
